Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Two Spanish Civil War songs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You know, we don't have any acoustic guitar songs yet, and this recording of two Spanish folk songs is high-quality and free to use. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 05:47, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


  • Oppose: Well, I'm spanish and I have known these songs for a long time. I have to say that there're some mistakes both in the lyrycs and the title. First there're two songs that can be confused in title, one is "Ay CARMELA" in which lyrics you can hear "...viva la QUINTA Brigada..." that I suppose it is the song you're playing on the file despite the lyrics have almost nothing to do with the originals except for the melody and rythm. The other song is "Viva la QUINCE brigada" and this song is from the irish artist Christy Moore who composed it in honour of the irish people that fought with the republicans in the 15th International Brigade, but even he dismissed the number as in a first original version he used QUINTA instead of QUINCE due to a translation mistake. And secondly as the title of the second song is "Ay CARMELA" then it is that what should appear on the lyrics and not "Ay MANUELA". So it is not a very accurate image of the Spanish Civil War songs but a good job anyway. For the real songs (the three mentioned), here are the links: : "Viva la Quince Brigada" "Ay Carmela" "Los Cuatro Generales", also known as "Puente de los Franceses"--Achu astaroth (talk) 16:42, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
